Worth the Candle

Despite contrary belief, I really do love the mornings. I'm not usually one to get up and enjoy them (usually because my warm, comfy bed is much more attractive), but I always enjoy them when I get up. The reasons behind my waking up so early are this: I went to Ira's last night around 6 and we were going to grill hot dogs and make baked potatoes in the microwave (oh the diet of a college student!!), but we ended up burning everything! His house still smells bad, but we're pretending it didn't happen. So we decided to just go buy, ready made, un-burned food at Bob Evan's/ Campus Wok (I can't handle American-Chinese food after first having Chinese-Chinese food). Since that took so long and we didn't finish eating until 8:30, I decided that I would just get up this morning to bake for Mugs. I love Mugs so much!! Such a long story, but all in all I got up at 7:00 this morning to start baking, enjoy some coffee, watch the sunrise on the trees that are sparkling with ice and snow and have a nice talk with Stacy before she left for practice. It was wonderful.
